Bertani CATULLO Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2018

Grape varieties: 70% Corvina Veronese, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella
Production area: Valpolicella Classica, Tenuta Novare Estate in Arbizzano di Negrar Soil Marl-limestone, with clay deposits
Winemaking: This wine is made with second fermentation, called “ripasso”. In March, the fresh, young vintage Valpolicella wine referments on the still slightlysweet Amarone Classico skins.
Ageing: In 75-hectolitre French oak barrels for 12 months, plus a further year in 100-hectolitre concrete vats. Bottle maturation at least 6 months
Alcohol content: 14%
Organoleptic characteristics: A medium-structured wine with delicate spicy notes of vanilla and chocolate, together with typical overtones of cherry, sour cherry and white pepper. The palate stands out for its easy drinkability, typical of Valpolicella, as well as the silky tannic structure and intense aromatic length. The finish is fresh, soft and sapid. This wine features a classic, elegant, balanced and well-orchestrated style.
